Set the Repository Settings properties:
These properties are read-only and are set in the alfresco-global.properties file only. See the properties starting with alfresco in sysAdmin Subsystem Properties.
Property Description Repository Context This property specifies the context path of the web application URL. The default value is alfresco. The context path is the path that’s used by applications (for example, IMAP, SharePoint, and email) to access Content Service. If you change this value, it must be defined with the same name as the directory name specified by your application server. For example, if you’re using Tomcat, this is the /webapps/alfresco directory in Tomcat, where alfresco is the name of the proxy server or specific server that you’re using. Repository Hostname This property is the host name of the web application that’s used by external applications. Content Service attempts to auto-detect the host name in place of ${localname}. If auto-detection fails, ${localname} is replaced with the IP address. Server Allow Writes Write access is permitted to the repository, as long as the license is valid. When this property is set to false, the repository is in read-only mode. Protocol This property is the protocol component of the web application. The default is http. If you require HTTPS support, you’ll need to configure this in the host application server. Port This property is the port number of the web application URL that’s resolved by external applications. The default is 8080. -
Set the Server Settings properties:
Property Description Allowed Users This property allows you to specify which users can log in. By default, all users can log in. Enter a comma-separated list of users to allow only those users to log in. If you don’t include the administrator user setting up this list (i.e. the current user), then this’ll be added automatically. Maximum Users The maximum number of simultaneous users allowed to log in. The default value of -1 allows an unlimited number of users. -
Set the Share Application Settings properties:
Property Description Share Context This property sets the context path of the Share web application URL. The default is share. You can set this context to a name that’s appropriate. Protocol This property sets the protocol for the Share web application. The default is http. HTTPS support requires additional configuration within the host application server. Share Hostname This property sets the externally resolvable host name of the Share web application URL. The default value is ${localname}, for example 127.0.0.1. Port This property sets the externally resolvable port number of the web application URL. The default is 8080. Site Public Group This property is the name of the group that controls user access to Public sites. The default is GROUP_EVERYONE, which contains all users. - Click Save to apply the changes you have made to the properties.
